I was always careful to present the options and encourage the team members to assess our options together and pick the tools as a team. As a group, we would meet to review our presentation outline on Google docs. At first, there was a bit of hesitation to use a collaborative 2.0 web tool, but I patiently waited until our next meeting. It became obvious that we needed to collaborate our efforts onto one document. When the group members began working on the same document together, there was a lot of laughing and exchange happening as we could collaborate both in person and on our presentation outline at the same time. The team members understood that this was an effective way to build a team presentation and give everyone opens access to the documentation.

D. INITIATIVES TO BE TAKEN TO IMPROVE OR ENHANCE PERFORMANCE: I must remember that I am not the boss anymore. I have operated my own businesses for 20 years, and I am learning that I am not responsible for the overall result. I explained this in the beginning and all the team members were very patient with me. I need to practice my public speaking at every opportunity I have. I have learned that lesson planning, execution and assessment are not easy tasks. I am grateful for our team as we executed this first lesson together. I can now see how important co-teacher and collaboration will be.
